Does the amplifier inside the unit have some sort of filter that cuts off low volume signals? If I set the volume low, or if the input signal is quiet, the speakers won't play any of it. There are times when the signal levels go up and down smoothly but the sound cuts in/out completely on and off.

I'm trying to listen to music at gentle quiet levels, but these speakers insist on dropping out completely at the quieter moments, even when the source isn't completely quiet. Is there anything that can be done to change this behavior?

Wanted to free up some desk space and replace a worn-out pair of passive bookshelf speakers for my office. Decided on the MM-3 and its one of my favorite purchases this year. Impressive bass for the size (after being broken in), accurate (maybe a bit bright at times), but paired with a lossless audio file these really shine.

Fit/finish is strong for the price point and I like the fact these come with small wedges/bases to sit.

Cons/negatives:-Holy moly are the cables excessively large to connect the two speakers. These make it a bit awkward for placement and protrude from the back-Main power switch is on the back. Why? Seems like it would be easy enough to integrate this into the front volume knob.-There's a detent in the middle of the volume knob (50% volume level)--why?

This was a huge upgrade at a great price for me. I’ve been looking for small desktop speakers that were affordable and sounded great without spending too much and the MM-3s were perfect. I got it on sale and for a hundred bucks, it was well worth it. It was easy to set up and has a wide and much clearer soundstage compared to my last pair of Logitech’s.

My only gripe is that the master speaker is locked into one side (left), and I would much prefer the master to be on the right. This might be more of an issue if you’re playing games but I don’t find it that huge of a deal if all you’re doing is listening to music. Though it can be off putting when someone in a movie talks and sound comes from the left but the character is actually on the right.

We are using these speakers with our TV, using aptx low latency, and we barely dial them up beyond a 4, and they give us great sound, no lag, and can serve other purposes if we needed to use them elsewhere.

I have hooked the MM-3 speakers into a computer audio system consisting of a Schiit Modi DAC and a Vali 2 headphone amp. Using the pre-outs from the Vali, I have RCA connection into the MM-3 speakers. In nearfield listening, these have amazing presence, and maybe the best imaging I have ever heard. When pushed for deep base they do miss the lowest notes (no surprise with no subwoofer), but otherwise have been a great addition to my audio set-up.

Hooked up first directly from pc to speakers. Spent about a week looking up different audio setups, and came to the conclusion putting a minidsp and doing some room correction makes these sound amazing!

They do some weird things in the bass frequency's our of the box. After leveling them out I only hear the speakers, and not the reflections off the wall.

I have been using these speakers for a couple months now and am really impressed! The bluetooth connects to my Mac quickly and the sound quality is really nice with a good amount of bass. It really brings sound to life, especially compared to my computer's speakers. I would definitely recommend these to someone who needs a boost in levels as well as quality.
